In contrast to the SCP Job Control Language, the utility control statements are processed 
only by the executed utility, not by the SCP. They supply all the specific parameters 
required to execute a utility program (that is, function, cartridge VOLSER, location, etc.). 

Briefly then, a control statement consists of a command (indicating the utility function) 
followed by zero or more parameters in 80 column card-image records. A complete syntax 
for the statements can be found in Appendix A, “Macros, Control Statements, Utilities, 
and Commands Syntax Reference” on page 429.

A sample job file might appear as follows:

 

Note: It is only necessary to supply those /FILE statements required by the particular 
utility function(s) being invoked. Utility functions can also share data sets represented by 
the same /FILE statement.
